There is totally a market for a global website which instead of shipping goods direct from China by plane instead has local warehouses 1 per city and can deliver to your house within a few hours by motorbike.

Aka like Amazon but with much smaller margins.

The savings would come from the fact sea freight is so much cheaper than air freight.

And the losses from having warehouses storing zillions of products that do not get sold for a long time.

There’s a reason the likes of Aldi and Lidl have limited product choice.

Aldi and Lidl deal with perishable goods. Temu (by and large) doesn't.

[dgellow]

Aldi and Lidl sell way more than just perishable goods. You can buy electronics from there

[avereveard]

But they are, especially those with batteries

[kergonath]

Fine, Action then.

Several AliExpress sellers advertize warehouses in EU, so guess they basically do what you say already.

[trollbridge]

That’s called “Walmart”

[throw-the-towel]

Not in Europe.

[bibstha]

Europe has plenty of dollar store equivalent.
